Verizon Will Start Selling iPhone in January 2011, Sorry Apple

Verizon Wireless will start selling Apple Inc.’s iPhone to customers in January, accoriding to a recent Bloomber article, two people familiar with the plans said yesterday. AT&T has had exclusive claim on the device in the U.S. since it was introduced in 2007.

Apple iPad

Apple unvieled their Amazon Kindle killer the iPad! On the outside it might just look like an over-sized iphone but I bet Amazon Kindle product managers aren’t thinking that. They might as well hang it up. The iPad takes digital publishing ten steps ahead with full-scale viewing and web browsing capabilities that make the Kindle look like an old-school Merlin.

So what it doesn’t have a phone… The enty-level iPad is on $499. It runs applications from the app store and is aslo positioning itself as a Google Android killer. Instead of jumping into the mini-laptop market, It has beat Google to market with a mobile application that runs on a device capable of full-scale computing. They’re carving-out a new category similar to what they did with the iPhone.
